Firefox 24 BUG! Firefox 24 is handling POST requests with error: when 100 Continue responses are preceded to 200 OK reply then Firefox is not processing other responses (including 200 OK reply) after the first 100 Continue responce is received. The more earlier versions are handling 100 Continue correctly.

I am sorry, I have tested my script with Mozilla Firefox 25 - the same problem was. But then I have dumped http connection - the log was shown then 100 Continue reply and 100 OK data are mixed and gzip'ped. Then I have turn off deflate module for my Apache on server - and all become Okey! So, I Just have turn off incorrect modules compression of returning data to solve the problem. Web server: apache2-mpm-itk on Linux Debian 7 Wheezy.

The "100 Continue" responces handling are described in RFC 2068, RFC 2616 (Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1): http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2068.txt http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt

I am sorry if this topic is not passed to a Mozilla Firefox support.

I can give a test url, but not to a public topic. My test url posts request to a cgi script processing Apache logs. The script respond 100 Continue periodically and 100 OK reply when all data is processed and reply is generated. Script is works perfectly on IE8, for example, and on earlier versions of Firefox.
